Overview
This node manages WhatsApp session connections and configurations via the DinastiAPI service. It allows users to perform various session-related operations such as connecting, disconnecting, logging out, pairing a phone number, configuring proxy settings, and managing skip message filters (e.g., skipping own messages). The node is useful for automating WhatsApp session management within n8n workflows, enabling integration with WhatsApp messaging without manual intervention.
A practical example includes automatically connecting to a WhatsApp session and configuring it to skip processing your own sent messages, which helps avoid duplicate message handling in workflows that listen to incoming messages.
